- It was known as the Vindicator, Chesapeake, Cheesecake, Wind-Indicator and Vibrator! You'd think with so many nicknames this US Navy Dive-Bomber that starred in a movie, fought at Midway and was the flying steed of a Medal of Honor winner would be better remembered! Learn all about her here!

Howdy! I’ve been listening to your podcast for quite awhile now, and I had a suggestion for a bird I hold very close. The Do 335! It’s been a big favorite of mine for a long time and I’d love to hear you cover it!
I saw the "Dive Bomber" (1941) movie and was impressed at the time. (1960's) I've since read that the Vindicators' glide bombing tactic was much less successful than SBD's dive bombing at the Battle of Midway. But I see that reality is very different.
Could you do the SBC Helldiver biplane please if you haven't already. Also the Vickers Wellsley would be good.
The SB2U, in some ways, reminds me of the TBD Devastator. Both are naval aircraft mostly obsolete by the start of world war 2. They both fought bravely in similar roles and were replaced by more advanced aircraft.
Yes, I agree with you!
You fight the war with what you have and hope and plan for something better
His dauntlessness.
It was so slow the pilots called them Wind Indicators.
The first time I read it, I didn't get it, but if you say it quickly: WindIndicator / Vindicator!
It's nice to see the vindicator get the spotlight for once, I'm sure this is another great episode!
I tried to vindicate the Vindicator!
@@worldofwarbirds That is a good one!
I support the alligator rhythm
There is plenty of pictures of the Vindicator that you could have used?. And drawings as well!.
